My Ink Stained Fingers Episode 6 Show Notes: Brett Terpstra and creating tools for writers
Ever have those fan boy/fan girl moments where you get to talk with someone who you’ve admired for years?
Yeah that was this episode.
I got to talk with none other than Brett Terpstra who:
- Wrote for The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
- Worked at AOL
- Was the developer behind Engadget and TechCrunch
- Created the Markdown fork of Notational Velocity nvAlt
- Created the Markdown processor-Swiss Army knife Marked 2
- Podcaster: Systematic and Overtired (with Christina Warren)
- Creating a new, super version an new Markdown editor nvUltra
- And is now working at Oracle as a developer evangelist
We talk about creating writing apps, keyboards, Markdown, and even get a special tip how to take a mind map, preview it in Marked 2, and kick start your writing.
Mind blown.
Oh and I also learned I need to watch my levels better when recording with people. Don’t worry, you’ll understand when you listen.
